As Alive Journal See other projects related to this listing. About As Alive Journal celebrates the here and now. When our pasts fade into abject memories and our futures lay hungry in front of us, it is the present that defines who we are and what we may make of ourselves.So what does that have to do with Fantasy, Horror, and Sci-Fi?We believe that Genre Fiction has always been about the duality between escapism and raw human nature. It explores the “what if” hypotheticals that are often left undiscovered by our own personal experiences yet still resonate with the questions we ask ourselves. It can settle something inside of us that was previously uneased and allow us to gently lower the weight from our shoulders. It can also terrify, awe, or stun us into learning a lesson from a tragedy.Ultimately, we connect with human nature through the stories we tell each other. In Fantasy, Horror, and Sci-Fi the goal is to make monsters out of metaphors and heroes out of the thin, mangled parts of ourselves that would otherwise never see the light of day. It is the joy of staring at yourself in a mirror and watching it blink first, finding comfort in finally having a friend.
